Project Charter in Lean

In Lean software development, a Project Charter serves as a foundational document that outlines the project's scope, objectives, constraints, and key stakeholders. It acts as a guiding document for the project team, ensuring everyone is aligned on the project's goals and objectives. The Project Charter typically includes the following elements:

  1. Project Purpose: Clearly states the reason for the project and the problem it aims to solve.

  2. Scope and Objectives: Defines the boundaries of the project and outlines its specific goals and outcomes.

  3. Key Stakeholders: Identifies the individuals or groups who have a vested interest in the project's success.

  4. Constraints and Assumptions: Lists any limitations or assumptions that may impact the project's execution.

  5. Risks and Mitigation Strategies: Identifies potential risks and outlines strategies to mitigate them.

  6. Success Criteria: Defines the metrics or criteria that will be used to measure the project's success.

Having a well-defined Project Charter helps to ensure clarity and alignment among team members, enabling effective decision-making and reducing the likelihood of project scope creep or unmet expectations.
